A lot of layers to uncover with how much the addition of Marcus Smart helps
-Another playmaker (offense and defense)
-quality wing defender
-effective off the ball (36.6% on catch-and-shoot 3s)
Guard rotation suddenly looking like a major strength. Taylor Jenkins has options – 6:41 PM

Damichael Cole: Taylor Jenkins said the Grizzlies are hopeful that Marcus Smart can return Saturday, but his next 5-on-5 will be important. There’s a possibility that his return could be pushed into early next week. -via Twitter @DamichaelC / December 21, 2023
Ball Don’t Lie: Memphis guard Marcus Smart is expected to return to action this week, either on Thursday vs. the Pacers or Saturday at Atlanta, per @ShamsCharania. Smart has missed the Grizzlies’ last 15 games due to an ankle injury. -via Twitter @Balldontlie / December 20, 2023
He crosses half court and heads over to veteran guard Marcus Smart who wants in on the fun, embarking on his photo shoot with poses galore. Like an All-NBA guard scanning a defense, Morant quickly spots center Bismack Biyombo seated near the baseline, stretched out as if he’s in first class. “I gotta get this one,” Morant says, as Biyombo gives him a thumbs-up. The room fills with laughter. “Our mood’s been the same,” Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams told The Athletic. “We haven’t been winning games, but still come in with the mentality that we’re going to win the next game, we’re going to play together and play hard.” -via The Athletic / December 20, 2023
